Cookies and Frames?

I have a friend that needs help. They emailed me and said they notice that when there site is in a frame from another site, the cookies do not work. The email prompt pops up even if the person has already set a cookie. If you input an email address it still comes back with null. Do you know why it cannot read the email cookie from within another site, but works fine from his site.

That makes sense. It's like the way (for the record) you can't pass instructions in JavaScript to a Flash movie from within a frameset crossing over two domains. A whole bunch of stuff stops working for "security reasons" in that kind of situation.
